Mother Love Bone graffiti on the Vogue's south wall, Seattle, 1992

Order an Image
The Vogue was a popular Seattle nightclub, operating from 1983 to 2007. First located in Belltown on the site of earlier gay bars, the Vogue was a significant part of the grunge scene - it hosted Nirvana's first large show in 1988, and Mudhoney's first show. It also saw shows by Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, and Mother Love Bone, among other seminal Seattle bands. The Vogue moved from its original Belltown location to Capitol Hill around 1999, and later to the Capitol Hill Arts Center, renaming itself Blacklight, but closing permanently six months later in 2007.

This image shows a piece of graffiti reading "Mother Love Bone" on the Vogue's south wall in 1992. Mother Love Bone was a grunge band in the late 1980s, which broke up in 1990 after the death of frontman Andrew Wood, though two members later went on to co-found Pearl Jam.
